A New House for Mouse by Petr Horacek
I found this book at the library today and I love it! Every page is filled with bold colors and a sweet little mouse looking for a home for her and her apple. The big juicy apple won't fit in her tiny mouse hole so she drags it along to larger holes asking the owners if she and her apple can move in. Lugging around that apple is hard work and makes a little mouse very hungry. Pick up this story and see if you and your child can predict where the mouse and her apple will end up.
This story provides several learning opportunities for your child. During the story you will learn about different animals and what they keep in their homes, as well as the size of their homes. You can compare sizes of the holes and talk about what happens to the apple as Little Mouse takes a bite. Prediction is an important part of reading comprehension. As you turn each page, ask your child what they think that animal will say to the mouse's questions and what they think will happen next. This prompts your child to start thinking about and understanding that for every action there is a reaction. After reading this book let us know what other things that your child learned from this book, we would love to hear from you!
